Description
Petitioner alleged an illegal restraint in that prison officials refused him medical attention. He said it amounted to cruel and unusual punishment. Eliminating non-essentials, the record may be abstracted thus: Chapman was a burglar the legality of whose commitment he did not assail. In applying for and obtaining a parole, he assigned as one reason a desire and intention to have an operation on what accurately was described as his weak and almost useless right arm and hand of 16 years duration resulting from residual poliomyelitis. The Pardons Board permitted him to go to Mayo Clinic, in Minnesota, where, after one operation, and while awaiting a second in a series, he violated his parole by associating with an ex-convict, and by slugging telephones, which cost him 35 days in jail. His parole was revoked and after fighting extradition unsuccessfully in proceedings, he was returned to Utah.
